As the days passed, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaomi and Wei Ziang rode off on horseback early in the morning.
They were going out for a big shopping trip to buy what they wanted, and they had informed their family that, at the earliest, they wouldn't be back until the night of the twenty-ninth.
At the latest, it would probably be the morning of New Year's Eve.
The family couldn't persuade them otherwise, so they just let them go, knowing that when they returned, they would surely be laden with gifts.
However, while the two went shopping, the family didn't stay idle either. The second aunt and Jiang Hu also took the children to Lishi City.
It was too far from Anning Village to Lishi City, and considering the shopping time, it would take three days for a round trip.
They left on the twenty-seventh, shopped on the twenty-eighth, and returned home on the twenty-ninth. By the next day, they had to start preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
